Mäetagused, 2002 Astronomically, the Milky Way is a big star system _ a galaxy. The word galaxy is derived from the Greek gala `milk'. In many languages the Milky Way's name is connected with milk. However, in Estonia this form of the name is rare.

Revealing Gas Inflows Toward the Galactic Central Molecular Zone
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe study the gas inflows toward the Galactic Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) based on the gas morphological and kinematic features from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting in the region of l = 1.°2–19.°0 and ∣ b ∣ ≲ 3.°0.

The ancient Egyptian personification of the Milky Way as the Sky Goddess Nut: an astronomical and cross-cultural analysis [PDF]
The Milky Way's name and role in ancient Egyptian culture remain unclear. One suggestion is that the Milky Way may have been a celestial depiction of the sky goddess Nut. In this work, I test this association using an interdisciplinary approach. In the first part of this paper, I combine astronomical simulations of the ancient Egyptian night sky with ...

A Wave-corrected Assessment of the Local Midplane
The Astrophysical JournalAs the number of known Galactic structures mounts thanks to the Gaia Space Telescope, it is now pertinent to study methods for disentangling structures occupying the same regions of the Milky Way. Indeed, understanding the precise form of each individual

Observational Constraints of Radial Migration in the Galactic Disk Driven by the Slowing Bar
The Astrophysical Journal LettersRadial migration is an important dynamical effect that has reshaped the Galactic disk, but its origin has yet to be elucidated. In this work, we present evidence that resonant dragging by the corotation of a decelerating bar could be the main driver of ...
